About this ebook
A visionary new retelling of the Welsh myth of Blodeuedd, this lyrical medieval fantasy about a flower transformed into a lord’s wife – and her desire to become something more – is perfect for readers of Katherine Arden, Allison Saft, and Madeline Miller.
You exist because of a crime, because of a curse, and because of a trick.
Blodeuedd never asked to be made.
Created from flowers of oak, broom, and meadowsweet to marry a man cursed never to have a human wife, Blodeuedd has no knowledge of the world, no family outside the marriage, and no power to choose. But a caged animal still has claws, and Blodeuedd will find a way to be free, whatever the cost.
Gwydion knows what it is to be unmade.
